Beginning at 9 p.m. Friday, a detour will be in place for southbound traffic to turn left on Center Drive and right on Newtown Road in order to get back to Kempsville Road. The detour could be in effect until as late as 5 a.m. Monday.

The weekend of Feb. 23-26 will see the same closure. A closure from March 2-5 is possible, VDOT said.

Kempsville Road’s northbound traffic will also be stopped for as many as 20 minutes at a time during the closures. Outside of those stoppages, one northbound lane will remain open.
